Kong Loses a Stack to Chidwick

Level 2 : 0/0, 200 ante

The cards were already flipped over and a setup hand saw Seongsu Kong at risk against Stephen Chidwick. On a flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, Kong had the second nuts with {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} but Chidwick had the best of it holding {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Kong shouted for an ace but his wish wasn't granted on the {8-Diamonds} turn and {10-Spades} river runout.

Chidwick's stack of around 29,000 had Kong covered and the South Korean redeemed his first add-on.
